Last week's challenge with Mr A's list was finding fresh prawns at a reasonable price - this week ended up being a hunt for ready made chilled mashed potato (who knew?) as unfortunately the shelves at his local Sainsburys were bare...clearly the potato eating cousin of Goldilocks had been to visit.

Determined not to let Mr A down, especially as we'd discussed at some length last week the various merits of ready made vs packet, I set off down High Holborn with high hopes and eventually struck gold in Tesco, along with a tin of peaches that had also not made the original Sainsburys basket.

Explaining to Mr A why my mission had taken a little longer than expected, he seemed very pleased that I'd completed his list successfully and in turn I'd found whole new areas of supermarket chiller cabinets that I never knew existed...Smashed it.
